One of Rebecca's favorite TV shows is Little Bear. It is a cute program about a little bear, hence the name. Little Bear loves to play outside with his friends: Duck, Owl, Hen, Cat, No Feet (a snake), and Emily. Since Little Bear's father is a fisherman, Little Bear often pretends to be a fisherman, as well. In one episode, Little Bear, Duck, and Owl catch a whale.
Well, Rebecca had it in her mind that she wanted to go fishing and catch a whale, too. Lucky for her, we traveled to Mississippi recently and Pop Pop just got a new fishing boat. Rebecca was so excited about going to catch a whale.
In the end, we did not catch a whale. I did catch a small fish, and that was pretty exciting for Rebecca, but she really wanted a whale. I did get a bite on my line, but the fish was so big that it got away by straightening out the hook. Rebecca thought that was a whale. It satisfied her somewhat. When she realized that we were not going to catch a whale she asked Pop Pop if he would catch her a mermaid. His reply was that he had been trying to catch one of those all his life.
It was a lot of fun taking Rebecca fishing, even without the whale. She really, REALLY, really wanted to catch a whale. She told us so all the way home from the woods.
